I stand by my posting.
Right now my door plate recommends 65 psi front and rear but I have to run 95 psi front and rear per Bridgestone for my weight. And I'm not overloaded.
And in every past post I can remember from others they see the exact same thing. A very low recommendation of what tire pressure to run.
May I just refer back to the OP today. How far down the road would he get running those door post pressures?
On edit: assuming this isn't a brand new rig straight out of the factory.
And I stand by mine!
Had I done otherwise I would have been in jail and my employer would have faced a $10,000 fine for every vehicle with incorrect information!.
If you are running OEM size tires on a rig that is NOT overloaded, there is no way there is a 35psi difference between what the Manufacturer stated and what the load/pressure tables say.
If you are running different tires from OEM spec, you are on your own and SHOULD use the load/pressure tables.
To reiterate - the ONLY time you should run sidewall
MAXIMUM pressure is when the tire is carrying its
MAXIMUM rated load.
Folks running their rig within its weight ratings at tire placard pressures on OEM size tires are NOT underinflated and will run down the road just fine.
To state otherwise is just plain
WRONG!
